Hidden behind the paradise comprising of tall skyscrapers and glamorous economy, there exist migrant workers who face grim realities in Singapore. In this personal and heartfelt talk, Raj Singh gives us a glimpse into the day of a life of these workers and shares the four important life lessons that he has learned from them.

He brings hands-on experience in Operations Management, Business Transformation, Management Consultancy and Safety. Through his work with major oil companies over the last 20 years, Raj has interacted with and trained thousands of foreign workers.

Russia's economic crisis means thousands of Tajiks are forced to return to their home country. Many face poverty and hopelessness.
For many years, Dzhamshed worked on construction sites in Russia to support his wife and four children. But when Russia tightened its immigration laws, many of the migrant workers were no longer welcome. Dzhamshed had to return to Tajikistan along with hundreds of thousands of his countrymen.
Life there is a fight for survival. With no job or other prospects, some become radicalized and follow recruiters for the Islamic State terrorist group. Dzhamshed has no thought of joining the IS. He tries to get by as a day laborer in the capital Dushanbe. Every day is a new struggle to scrape together enough money to feed his family.

Migrant worker

The term "migrant worker" has different official meanings and connotations in different parts of the world. The United Nations' definition is broad, including any people working outside of their home country. Some of these are called expatriates. Several countries have millions of foreign workers. Some have millions of illegal immigrants, most of them being workers also.

According to the International Labour Organization, as of 2014 there were an estimated 232 million international migrants in the world (defined as persons outside their country of origin for 12 months or more) and approximately half of them were estimated to be economically active (i.e. being employed or seeking employment).

According to the Panos Network, it is never appropriate to refer to asylum-seekers or refugees as “illegal migrants”. On the one hand, their reasons for moving are different from those of migrants, and on the other, international law recognizes that those fleeing conflict or persecution may need to cross international borders without authorization and
should not be penalized for doing so.

Raj Singh (businessman)

Sukhraj 'Raj' Singh (born 17 October 1964) is an Indian businessman based in the Tees Valley and proprietor of the multimillion-pound Prestige Group .

Care homes

Indian-born Singh is owner of the Stockton-based Prestige Group. His business interests include a number of residential care homes, a construction company and investment properties across the UK.

Football

Singh became vice-chairman of Darlington Football Club in October 2008, appointed by then chairman of the club George Houghton until the club went into administration in February 2009. On 28 May, it was announced that he was taking over the club as chairman. On 7 August, Darlington came out of administration and were given permission by the Football League for Singh to take over as new owner and chairman of the club. Singh, together with previous owner Houghton, were confident enough to appoint manager Colin Todd in the interim period, as well as sanctioning contracts for a new playing squad. Shortly after Todd was handed a permanent deal Singh sacked Todd after he failed to win any of his first nine games and appointed Steve Staunton as his second permanent appointment.
In early 2012 Singh decided to cut his losses and placed Darlington Football Club into administration, 7 months after the FA Trophy victory at Wembley in May 2011

Al Jazeera

Al Jazeera (Arabic:الجزيرة‎al-ǧazīrahIPA:[æl dʒæˈziːrɐ], literally "The Peninsula", referring to the Arabian Peninsula), also known as JSC (Jazeera Satellite Channel), is a Doha-based state-funded broadcaster owned by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which is partly funded by the House of Thani, the ruling family of Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the Internet and specialtyTV channels in multiple languages.

Al Jazeera is among the largest news organizations with 80 bureaus around the world. Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar. While Al Jazeera officials have stated that they are editorially independent from the government of Qatar, this assertion has been disputed.

The original Al Jazeera channel's willingness to broadcast dissenting views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. The station gained worldwide attention following the outbreak of war in Afghanistan, when it was the only channel to cover the war live, from its office there.

Al-Jazeera (Amman)

Al-Jazeera (Amman) (Arabic: الجزيرة) is a Jordanian football club based in Amman. Founded in 1947, the team plays at the Petra Stadium.

In the early 1940s, the club consisted of boys who shared common traits like age, social status, friendship, neighborhood, education and love for sports, especially football. They began practicing football as a team with intense training, and felt that their talents merged well. The team members enhancing and developing their talents included the late Amer Mufti, Tbelt Fattah and Abdul Raouf Al Attia, Abdul-Raouf Noha and Muhammad Ali Karyoti and Honorary Nanaa and facilitate the drum and facilitating the latest Shorbaji and Taher Al-Halawani Wool and Mohammed Abu Sultan, Mohammed and Omar News vegetative and Mohammed and Ahmed and Awad Hamid ..

A request was made Altosin the following names:

The current format of the competition involves a qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase, which is often called the World Cup Finals. 32 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month.

The 20 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight different national teams. Brazil have won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy, with four titles each; Argentina and inaugural winners Uruguay, with two titles each; and England, France and Spain, with one title each.

Russia's economic crisis means thousands of Tajiks are forced to return to their home country. Many face poverty and hopelessness.
For many years, Dzhamshed worked on construction sites in Russia to support his wife and four children. But when Russia tightened its immigration laws, many of the migrant workers were no longer welcome. Dzhamshed had to return to Tajikistan along with hundreds of thousands of his countrymen.
Life there is a fight for survival. With no job or other prospects, some become radicalized and follow recruiters for the Islamic State terrorist group. Dzhamshed has no thought of joining the IS. He tries to get by as a day laborer in the capital Dushanbe. Every day is a new struggle to scrape together enough money to feed his family.

Invisible America: The Migrant Story

Spread the word! Many people are not aware of where their food comes from. Migrant workers around the world travel to the harvest and provide most of the fresh foods for countries around the world, but these same migrant workers are disadvantaged, living a 3rd world lifestyle in a 1st world country. This is just a glimpse into their mostly unacknowledged lives.
I'm proud of this... $100 camera (the hardy Playsport!) and a netbook!

Migrant worker

The term "migrant worker" has different official meanings and connotations in different parts of the world. The United Nations' definition is broad, including any people working outside of their home country. Some of these are called expatriates. Several countries have millions of foreign workers. Some have millions of illegal immigrants, most of them being workers also.

According to the International Labour Organization, as of 2014 there were an estimated 232 million international migrants in the world (defined as persons outside their country of origin for 12 months or more) and approximately half of them were estimated to be economically active (i.e. being employed or seeking employment).

According to the Panos Network, it is never appropriate to refer to asylum-seekers or refugees as “illegal migrants”. On the one hand, their reasons for moving are different from those of migrants, and on the other, international law recognizes that those fleeing conflict or persecution may need to cross international borders without authorization and
should not be penalized for doing so.
